Kompetisi Komponis Muda Indonesia or The Indonesian Young Composers Competition is a national competition for composers aged up to 35, aimed at discovering new talents in the field of music composition. The competition has been held regularly by Bandung Philharmonic since 2017.

​

To ensure a fair and transparent evaluation process, all submitted works are assessed through a blind audition process (without the composer’s name) by internationally recognized jurors who are professionals in their respective fields.

​

The winning composition will receive its World Premiere in a symphonic concert presented by Bandung Philharmonic. This initiative is designed to provide composers with direct experience collaborating with a professional orchestra.
